This should be a very interesting compilation for any Bryan Adams fan/collector. The opening track "Roxy Roller" by Sweeney Todd (1976) is from a 7" single which was Bryan's very first record (Click here to read more about "Roxy" and Sweeney Todd). It is followed by the rare b-side to "Roxy Roller" called "Rue De Chance". That is a re-recording of Nick Gilder's version as well. Bryan Adams sings lead vocals. After that you find the first solo single, nowdays with cult-status, the disco hit "Let Me Take You Dancing" which in fact sold 250.000 copies worldwide (a lot of them in New York City). Its B-side "Don't Turn Me Away" was the very first song that Bryan wrote with Jim Vallance in January 1978. I'm Ready is a very special and rare promo b-side, extended remix (will surprise some fans). The rest of the songs are mainly b-sides from the 80's. Highlights from the 80's includes the often requested b-side "Diana", the Christmas single "Christmas Time", the Fan Club Christmas Single from 1984 ("Reggae Christmas"/"Plum Pudding") and the Canadian aid song "Tears Are Not Enough". A very good and memorable collection! Excellent sound. A must for true fans. Available on 1 CD-R.
